If MGW is too expensive then Eze has a £68m clause this summer doesn’t he?

Yes, that´s right.

A lot seem to be saying that to make the squad numbers work for the players they want us to buy, but we've hardly seen them which may be why,but there is now way any of us can know that's the intention because non of us have seen enough of them, for all we know they could be looking really good in training and we have no intention of loaning them
My guess is they both feature in the CWC and no decision made until that's over.They might be loaned. or one of them might be, but they might just as easily not be and spaces in the squad used for them.

I don't think they would get enough game time without some experience.
I don't think pep would pick reis over akanji to fill in for an injury or rotation other than the very odd game.
Same with Echeverri and the competition he will havw for a place.

Doubt it, he forgets Omar, Foden and Bobb in his numbers. (and Cherki)

Eze is the wrong fit, he’d never play midfield under Pep just like Grealish

Im guessing it'll be Gabriel Sara if MGW falls through

Does anybody have access to a squad list that separates which players are classed as foreign, which are classed as association trained, which are classed as club trained and which are eligible for the B list?

I have a personal one for the current squad as it is today?

Any idea why neither us or Liverpool tried for Cunha ? It seems it kinda odd that United had a free run at him for some reason, maybe I'm missing something here ?

So, according to your list, if we add Echeverri, Bah, and Reis to the non-HG list while removing DeBruyne, we are still oversubscribed by two players. If we add the three players who we are heavily rumoured to be signing, we're oversubscribed by five players. That is before we look at the association-trained players. I'd hate for us to be in a scenario like Chelsea, where senior players are ineligible to play.

yeah, we've over but not by anyone who will be here really. Bah, Reis and Echeverri will all be loaned out imo.

Nothing major, we just have incoming before outgoing but the reg. deadline date is months away.

he’s not quite good enough for city or Liverpool

City have Haaland & Marmoush, not sure another forward is needed

For Liverpool, their best plan is when they play without a striker.

Not convinced all 3 will be loaned, think 2 at most, No idea which will stay though.

Reis at a guess. Echeverri already has decent offers. We' have too many CBs already and Bah is the rawest of the lot.

With the injury troubles we're having in that position, we surely need to keep at least one of the centre backs in the squad. I'm not sure what the plan is with Echeverri, but Pep put him on in the cup final, so he clearly sees something in him.

josko, dias, ake, khus and reis is my guess for who's sticking around.

Maybe Akanji, i flip/flop on him going or staying right now.

I think Eze isn’t on the list since he is no engine like MGW
